lyrics

Only the brave watch when Pye demonstrates the Mole
Mountains can fall when he inserts it in the hole
It goes so far, it goes so fast, where it ends up no-one knows
But Daevid down in Melbourne thinks he did see one of those

Down in the Bay old Dave is doing rather well
Wife and a nipper from a certain strange hotel
He's got a job right up his street, or say his "Avenue"
He's tinkling ivories all day long, he always wanted to

Then there's a Coughlan whose attempts to drink us dry
Having abandoned finally his bid to fly
He only made a pair of flaps before he crashed upon the beach
It's rumoured that his flippers failed to open at three feet

(Lyrics by Hugh Hopper)
